We selected reports that met our inclusion criteria, regardless of publication status, language and trial quality using a systematic research methodology; this approach has been shown to minimize potential selection and publication bias and lead to more reliable conclusions[ 36] We made every effort to conduct our review and report its results with the highest rigour.

Based on the success of the first conference, it went on to become a worldwide, data-driven working conference known for its interactive conference design and high scientific rigour.
Although before-after observational study was the best design, we recognise that it is not of as high methodological rigour as a randomised controlled trial and does not control for secular changes that may have occurred in the absence of guideline introduction.
Given the high-level respondents, we are confident that high validity, reliability, reproducibility and generalisability arising from the response rate (Zwane et al. 2011) are reinforced by the rigour of the statistical analysis.
Despite the high-minded rigour of his own work, McBurney isn't allergic to pop culture.
Paradoxically, it is essential that fault-tolerant software is designed with the highest possible rigour to prevent faults in itself.
As hypothesized the correlation was highest with Rigour of development.
The process of item selection, reduction and confirmation was comprehensive and while limitations to the methodology are present, the overall process had a high degree of rigour ensuring confidence in content validity of the ArmA measure produced.
